What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

What if you could apply sports statistics to influencer marketing? What if you could filter the world’s blogs by who performs best for which topics? What if you could rank and compare sites by their social media performance? What if all these ecommerce tools were found in the same place?

That’s BuzzSumo. A bit like a Swiss Army Knife of ecommerce tools, BuzzSumo handles many of the decisive aspects of content marketing and social media, all in one place. But how well does it work? This week, Divvit Reviews… BuzzSumo.

What Does BuzzSumo Do?

BuzzSumo is to content marketers what weather reports are to farmers. Here’s a tool that gives you all the relevant, quantitative data you need to make the most informed business decisions when building your strategy.

And that’s a huge advantage. BuzzSumo doesn’t actually do anything, aside from sending you alerts. But as a reference guide, it’s one of your most invaluable tools. And because it’s only a reference guide, you’re free to use it any way you see fit. It’s very open-ended, so virtually any company can use it with their own unique strategies, no matter how experimental.

Of course, this involves knowing which statistics you need and when, so experienced content managers can make more use of it than amateurs and newcomers.
